Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been around lately. Just been real busy. From what I have been able to catch up on as far as posts, I can see that a lot of us have confessed and are back on track I think that is all part of staying on a permanent plan.

Well, I have been doing pretty good. The scale hasn't moved much, but for me it seems like it doesn't move and then all of a sudden 4 lbs. So hopefully that is the case.

Well, just wanted to pop in and say hey. Oh after almost a week of good sleep, Arden was up screaming bloody murder last night. I hope it is not her ears

Hopefully I can talk to you soon,

Morning Crystal!

Just stepped off the scale - down 3 of # that were back last week! So I evened out over the last three weeks, which is good - much better than what I was facing last week being up 3.5#. Now to lose MORE and actually make the scale move down instead of up & down...

On the work front - one of the guys I work right next to was let go yesterday. Made work very strange yesterday, no warning that the rest of us were aware of... I really feel badly for him, I can't imagine losing my job like that.

Hey Crystal - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your WI - if you're staying OP the scale will move eventually!

Have an excellent Friday everyone!

Hey all, not much happening here. Haven't made it to the gym since Monday, but I did go to swim class with Emma. So that is a little exercise.

I am eating OK, kind of way up there for my target. But I am doing OK. Have TOM and stress, so have been wanting comfort food.

It is cold here again and raining. I had a huge blowout with my mom on Wednesday and I am supposed to go to a wedding with her tomorrow. Just me and the girls and her and my aunt. We are staying overnight at my grandpa's. So I am alone with 2 little kids... if that isn't enough to stress you!!! I am sure it will be a tense time.

So I am just waddling through the day. Have 3 meetings today... blechhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jen~ we are on the same page today. I am SO glad it is Friday b/c it has been the week from ****. I need to do well op this week or else I think I would go for a huge plate of spaghetti (my fav. comfort food). Try and have fun this wknd with the fam. I love weddings!

Crystal~ I am sure the scale will budge soon! Keep it up

Angie~ Down 3 Congratulations Chica!!!!!!

I didn't lose the 2 that I was up at last WI so I am hoping to have a great week this week. It is difficult with cold weather. I find that I just want to bake and cook warm meals. I made cookies 2x last week. I am in such a mood this a.m. My boss is making everyone here crazy. She is normally wonderful but she gets stressed out and when she does LOOK OUT! DH just called me and asked me to come and have lunch with him at the school and I said No. I feel kind of bad but the lunch was high fat and that is what I did last weekend. I used all of my points plus some on the wknd and then sabotaged myself for the rest of the week. I also don't feel like going out in the cold weather. Ok enough of that mess. Sorry I am such a downer.

THe GOOD NEWS IS TODAY'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!

Anyone with wknd plans??? Dh works this wknd but I plan to do a lot of vegging out TOM is coming and I am just worn out. I think I will watch "You've Got Mail" I love that movie. So nothing big here. Unfortunately I have to do laundry this evening but DH will help me with that and we will get it out of the way for the wknd. Well now that you know all of that life shattering news I will BBL Girls! Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

I don't think I am weighing myself this week.I feel totally bloated and TOM isn't due for a week & 1/2.I think I feel this way due to stress.

Have no clue of what I am doing this weekend.But I do hope everyone has a great day and weekend.


*hugs*

Hey all, I over ate last night & used up the last of my flex points. Now I have to get through the weekend. It will be tough. I'm PMSing hardcore. Also more stress with my brother. He quit his job so there is no way he could meove out now. He also told me he didn't have enough to pay rent this month & get his school books so I said fine get your school books, then last night he goes out & spends $200 at the bar! Then he drove home drunk! I'm so mad right now!!! I can't confront him about it b/c I found out a sneaky way ( I know his password for his bank account on the internet so I checked it to see if he was lying to me) Bad I know. Now I wished I would have never looked. & now instead of going to school he's home hung over in bed. Why does he always stay home on the one day off I have where I could have the house to myself?? Argh! I'm very frustrated. One good thing: I getting a massage today As for the weekend I work the whole thing. Not too exciting. We went & watched Seabisciut last night-good movie.

Kier, hope that wedding planning is fun & not stressful. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Becky, if you need to bake give the cookies away!! I'm sure you'll have lots of takers!

Lynnie, I know the feeling but I usually WI anyway just so I can have a nice big loss next week.

Crystal, hope Arden is feeling better! Don't worry your loss will come is you keep it up!

Angie, congrats on the loss. Sorry to hear about your co-worker. That kind of thing does nothign to create a relaxed atmosphere in the workplace.

Jen, hopefully your weekend isn't too stressful.

KT did you watch Survivor last night? I think Rupert rocks! I want him to take the whole thing. Those other guys weren't exactly thinking when they got rid of Lil! Now whose going to do all the work?

A big hello to everyone! I probably won't be back todayb/c I need to do my books (blech) so have a great weekend all!

OK, but did I tell you this wedding is for my 2nd cousin who I only met once in high school. My mom is making me go because of my grandfather. Which is all nice and well, but I really don't want to go... AT ALL. I don't even know this guy. I barely know his mom. I know his grandmother and aunt. That is IT!

I am a bit crabby today! And it is still raining and very gloomy out. So I think that has something to do with it too!

Heya all,

well my sweetie came over after his conference... so we watched election coverage (my party won... my bf's didn't)... again it was a really mellow day... I got a parking ticket yesterday which ticked me off.... I think the rent-a-cop waited at my metre. I got a lot of birthday wishes and my mom bought me a blender (to make breakfast smoothies!) My sweetie doesn't seem well though he seemed over heated last night and all... This morning I had to ask him if he minded me bringing my cat over when I stay at his place... I told him he didn't have to answer right away (I am paranoid that I said he didn't have to say yes right away... but I think I said answer), but said it was fine... my cat is also a point of contention with my roomate... although I come back early the next day to feed her and I set up a room for her to sleep in so she won't disturb my roomies at night... that isn't enough.

Rina: ouch... I know, but you know what? The fact is you know what he's been doing and all... now... here are a few things... if he drove home drunk was it your or your hubby's car? If it was, ban him from ever driving it again... I have no sympathy for people who drive drunk.. if it was his car... it means he can afford since you live near a bus to perhaps not drive it and pay you (I resent when my roomates pay me late since I pay all the bills upfront). The fact is, I know you feel responsible for him and all, but he has no right to treat you like that. I know you may not want to bring them in on it, but have you discussed this with either of your parents?

Rina: Yes Lill may have done a lot of work, but you know, she's not 22.... I was so ticked in the first episode when the morganeers were discussing booting her and when one suggested that they could train the other girls to do what she could do... heck the guys need training as it is..... I can only see either Ryan or Andrew from Morgan making it to the final. I have a feeling Jon will be kicked off next week.

Crystel: poor Arden... are you taking her to the doc soon?

Jen: I hope things get better... You take care and have fun at the wedding!

Angie: frustrating as it seems often when we get close to goal the more likely the weight is to yo-yo a bit... I remember eating perfectly and gaining 3 lbs!! It happens sometimes... Just as long as in the long run the weight is going down, that's what is important!
Kierie: Some ofmy friends have done that and did well in school and had a good wedding

Becky: I know... it's so cold I want oatmeal and hot chocolate all the time... Soups too.... I think once we got over the initial shock of the cold it will get better!!

Take care!

Ali

Rina! My reality TV buddy! I watched - I've been in love with Rupert since he stole the shoes from the other team. He's amazing. I love the quote from next week when they suggest throwing a challenge to dump someone and Rupert calls him a traitor. But I don't like Jon so I'd be OK with him gone.
Crystal - did Arden get the tubes put in?
Angie - they let an entire depart go here on Tuesday. We're still in disbelief. They've eliminated 11 positions. I hope things settle at your work and they don't start letting other people go.
Jen- At least you'll be able to get some cute pictures of the girls all dressed up for a wedding...
Becky - I watched that movie for the first time last weekend! It's great!
Hi Lynnie - try to de-stress and have a nice weekend.
Kier - how did they like the dog?
Ali - I think Drake will get rid of Andrew ASAP after a merge cause he's a threat. I'd like to see him get somewhere though.
OK, the pipes are leading the graduands into the area in front of my office. The university grad is today and we are on top of a mountain and almost completely covered in fog right now so I'm going to go watch. I'll check back if anyone is around later.
KT

Jen: that must be weird going to a wedding for someone you barely know... KT's right, you'll probably get some cute pics.

KT: It's just so weird how much stronger Drake is than Morgan. Yes, there have been some fights and what not... Yeah I wouldn't mind betting they throw immunity to get rid of Jon.

Take care!

Ali
